Sudan is facing a worsening fuel crisis, with gas stations resembling makeshift camps as gasoline and diesel prices skyrocket on the black market. The Sudanese government publicly projects confidence while privately attempting to deliver fuel to the nine states under its control. Simultaneously, political divisions are emerging regarding a potential ban on bean imports. The “Quintet” – a group of political actors – is navigating various political initiatives, attempting to maintain balance. Meanwhile, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are intensifying pressure on Blue Nile state, while the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) focus their attention on Darfur. The struggling economy amidst ongoing conflict dominates Sudan’s current landscape, directly impacting daily life.
